Well sorry but you can't stop rumors about your child. You can tell me that she/he is better than the people spreading the rumors. And if people come up to them and make them feel bad than tell your child to just say "It is none of your buissness." But the best thing is to teach your daughter/son how to deal with these things cause hey can always get worse as they get older
You should ignore her and then tell her that lie and spreading rumors is not good.
